PAT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RANGE EXPANDS
More than 530 new part numbers have been added
Premier Auto Trade (PAT) has recently completed its biggest range expansion to date in the Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) category, with the company stating this expansion has made the range the largest in the Australian Aftermarket.
Premier Auto Trade has added more than 530 new part numbers, taking the total range to more than 900 Wheel Speed Sensor products, covering nearly 14 million vehicles in Australia and New Zealand.
The WSS range covers all makes and models including Hybrid and full electric vehicles like Teslas, with 190 part numbers exclusive to PAT.
The new WSS program from Premier Auto Trade features direct OE replacement sensors, equipped with the correct plugs, wire sheathing, and mounting brackets for faster, easier installation. All 900 items are now live and listed in the Oscar catalogue against their relevant vehicle applications.
Wheel speed sensors are of particular importance and are used in numerous applications in vehicle systems.
The ABS sensor is typically located in each wheel hub/rotor. Some rear wheel drive applications have the sensor mounted in the rear differential. Wheel speed sensors make a direct contribution to driving dynamics, driving safety, driving comfort and reduced fuel consumption.
In driver assistance systems such as ABS, TCS, ESP or ACC, motor control units use these sensors to determine the wheel speed. The ABS computer uses this information to prevent the brakes from locking during an
emergency stop.
If wheel speeds are not equal the computer modulates the anti-lock feature until the speeds are equalised. The wheel speed information from the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is also provided to other systems including the engine management, gearbox and chassis control systems, and navigation systems.
Premier Auto Trade has introduced this extensive range of high-quality OE replacement Wheel Speed Sensors as part of its Vehicle Management range.
PAT says it carries one of Australia’s most extensive ranges of these specialised components, from the world’s leading manufacturers, including Delphi, Bosch, Pierburg, Denso, Continental, Walker Products, Walbro, NTK, Hitachi, Bremi, TE Automotive, Hella, Airtex, Intermotor, FAE, TI Automotive and Valeo.
Premier Auto Trade is in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide with its products sold throughout Australia via a network of specialised resellers and leading automotive retail groups.
